Hey, > su > cd / > git init I've been using git for exactly this purpose succesfully for a while now (git 1.5.6.5 from Debian stable and I think also 1.7.2.3 from Debian testing). The only problem I've found was that, with the former version, a lot of operations need to happen while the current dir is /, otherwise it wouldn't find the git repository properly (or do other weird stuff). This problem was gone in the latter version. > fatal: Unable to create '//etc/.git/index.lock': No such file or directory This sounds like git assumes /etc/.git exists, but it really doesn't. Not sure why that happens. Gr. Matthijs
